farcical songs.

An old settler advances an argument
that In ten years from now Tongue
river in this vicinity will he a dry
channel during several months in the
year, exactly as Pumpkin creek and
Powder river are now conditioned in
many places. True, that in the past
five or six years the amount Of water
has materially and to a perceptible de-
gree lessened in Tongue river at this
point. Even in dry seasons in the
earlier years Tongue river was never
known to be fordable so early, the
water TO be and continue so murky or
the water line Of the river so low as
during this year, which has been a
wet one in every respect, more rain
having fallen than before IN the his
tory Of the country. Now to explain
this apparent phenomenon. During
the past three years the head OF
Tongue river has been extensively
utilized for irrigation. Each succeed.
ing year since 1850 more bitches have
been taken out and many Of the feed
ers OF Tongue river have become
nearly dry even in the early summer
from the effect OF this drain. or the
water taken out Of the streams there
is less than 20 per cent returning from
the surface Of the ground, the rest be-
ing absorbed by the earth or going of
in vapor-returning, Of course, eventu-
ally. Then again, the wash from the
soil carried along by that water which
returns to the stream, forms beds OF
quicksand and forms the basis for the
conceslment Of the volume of wafer
and reduces that volume materially.
The muddy appearance of the stream
results from like causes. II might be as
the old settler fears, that ten years
will enable one to cross at the Keogh
ford dry shod at some months OF the
year, not winter either, but the time Ia
under estimated We think. And also, by
the time Tongue river Is made dry
from frequent usage Of It's waters
higher up, the increased rainfall will
amply replace any inconvenience con.
sequent upon dry channel.
